Sub-Surface Oil Monitoring Cruise (GU1002, EK60). Objectives were to evaluate ability of acoustic echosounder measurements to detect and localize a sub-surface plume of oil or related hydrocarbons released from the Deepwater Horizon well-head using the Simrad EK60 echosounder, collect fluid samples to confirm acoustc scattering targets, collect temperature, dissolved oxygen, and fluorometry profiles in the vicinity of the plume, and assess abundance and distribution of zooplankton, phytoplankton, and larval fish.
